I answered that earlier: any position on any issue can be seen as supporting the extremes, and many many theists vehemently condemn extremist behavior.

Quote:That are summarily ignored by most of it's adherents that I interact with. Christians love the death penalty. Most Christians have no tolerance for homosexuals. Many, many, many Christians, on both sides of the skin color spectrum, are extremely racist to this day. Also, the philosophy of Buddhism had all of those tennants covered 4 centuries before Christ ever came on the scene.

That is a BIG generalization right there i am afraid. And it is just simply false. "Christians" do not have no tolerance for homosexuals. "Christians" do not love the death penalty. Maybe in your area, but it is still only anecdotal evidence.

Buddhism does share some similarities, but you'll notice that in Tibet before it was overrun by China, there was one of the strictest theocracies the region had ever seen.

Quote:And nowhere did I make either one of those, everything I claimed above has been measured & debated for decades before I was even born.

Well you just did up there :/

Quote:Irrational dialog is useless. If they were rational to start with, they wouldn't be religious, now would they?

Most theists are very rational. They do make an exception for God, but for everything else in their lives they are absolutely no different than you or me.

I...just explained it Big Grin

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is "inspired by the Holy Spirit" and is supposed to be the text at the basis of that religion. I encourage you to read a little of it and you'll see that is really is not that bad.

It is pretty much reverse cherry-picking: you only take the bad parts and disregard the rest.
